I’m just a 40-something bearded guy trying to get a fresh start.

When you’re in the party b-b-bumpin’ that beat

I’m awake.

Chaucer dropped another album this morning. It wasn’t very good. So technically I’ve been up for a while, but I’ve been trying to fall back asleep.

It did work. But it’s also a good thing. We got shit to do today. I have all the chores I didn’t do last Monday, plus laundry. And Crystal is making a couple of cakes today. One for the Christmas party for me, and one simply for personal use.

Like I said yesterday, we went grocery shopping. I was also supposed to get shit for my secret Santa at work. Of course I remember just about as I’m falling asleep that I totally fucked up and forgot.

Shit-balls.

I’m a little lucky that my Santee, won’t be able to make it. I fucked up, but I’ll make it right. Just a lot slower.

More coffee please!

But I only liked the upper part (ooh-ooh) I did not like the tail

So it’s been a day.

I get to work and start the opening procedures, and then try to do the “dips” shits all frozen. Then I notice that there’s three minutes until we open, and my coworker hasn’t arrived yet.

Long story short.

BossLady had to come in for a few hours because when she texted the group chat at 7am, she was upset because no one answered her. Yeah because school is out, and everyone that works for her is pretty much nocturnal.

Mind you, it was a quiet morning and otherwise went without incident.

After work, we drove to SlightlyBiggerTown for groceries and dinner/brunch, which was really good. Now we’re just relaxing on the couch. Chaucer has climbed up on me and is very happy.

It’s a good day.

I can see her lying back in her satin dress in a room where you do what you don’t confess

Well it’s been a day for sure. Again, like every time I set my alarm, I’m up before the fucking thing even goes off. So yeah the alarm was set for 4:30, and my stupid ass is awake at 4:15. Which is loads better than the first time I woke up, at about 3:15.

So I got up and went out into the kitchen to get the day started. I turned on the coffee pot, then went to the bathroom, and did that stuff m, and fed the cats. From there, I turned on the tv, and got dressed.

After getting dressed, it was time to caffeinate, and I drank the coffee as I was watching the early morning news. At the proper time, I went out and started the car.

Work, was well, work. It was dead, so we cleaned. When it started snowing, we shovelled. I also shovelled when I got home. Now it just needs to stop snowing, so I don’t have to shovel tomorrow as well.

Turkey pot pie for dinner. Yum.

Up in the mountains or down by the ocean

Good morning my friends. I got up a little early today. I’ve been up on and off for a couple of hours. I’ve peed trice this morning. I was a little tossy turny, but it wasn’t too bad. And I was able to ignore the children playing in the bed room.

But yeah, I got out of bed a little early. I figured that it might be a little better if I did that, as the alarm will be set today, for a very early wake up call tomorrow.

Christmas Day went off without a hitch. We had Christmas dinner with my gramma for lunch yesterday. The old folks home does a really good job on the turkey lunch. Just a couple questionable items on the plate; including turnips.

After lunch Crystal and I split away from my mom, and came home while my mom went home, and took a nap. We went to The Flat, and wrapped the presents for my parents. We got to Shady Acres and I was the one tapped to pass out the presents. I got a robe, and a couple of pairs of jeans, which were desperately needed.

After Christmas dinner, we packed up the Hot Mess Express with our Christmas gifts, and a bag full of leftovers, and drove back to our place where we had a low-key evening, and eventually went to bed.

Happy Boxing Day everyone. Don’t forget to get your servants a present.
